[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1479717] Re: Auto resize VM doesn't work with windows 10 guest

[Jean-Pierre van Riel]

I've observed the same issue (in Ubuntu Gnome 15.04). In addition, when
I select '' from the Virtual Machine Manager, View, Scale Display, Auto
Resize VM with Window, the guest's screen starts flickering.

On Windows 10 64bit, virtio drivers and QXL installed from ISO extracted
out the RPM here: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-
win/repo/latest/virtio-win-0.1.110-2.noarch.rpm. In all cases, I
installed the Windows 8.1 x64 option, given w10 drivers are not yet
included in the ISO. The windows QXL drivers haven't been updated since
July 28th (v22.33.46.473) .

There is a commit on github about windows 10 signatures here which
suggests more formal support for Windows 10 is getting closer for some
of the virtio driver set: https://github.com/crobinso/virtio-win-pkg-
scripts/commit/342a5aaf632fa11cfd2e69acf589dd00c15f72ca

Note, qxl-dod comes from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/qxl. I
don't see any recent commits related to Windows 10 support.

Red Hat bugzilla doesn't seem to have the auto resize VM bug noted
anywhere? Perhaps this should be propagated upstream?

Title:
  Auto resize VM doesn't work with windows 10 guest

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I,m using a Ubuntu 15.04 host and a windows 10 guest (both 64 bit) on
  a intel i7 proc. My ubuntu system is up-to-date and I'm using QEMU
  emulator version 2.2.0. I use virt-manager 1.0.1 and SPICE guest tools
  0.100 are installed on the guest.

  With the exactly same setup and a windows 7 guest I can set "Auto
  resize VM with window" and it perfectly works. After installing SPICE
  in windows 10 I can still select this box, but it doesn't work any
  longer.
